Bahama Mama's Due Aug 1 - 8, Week 11&12

Below is when everyone will reach their first big milestones. The 12 week development date is when the embryo develops all the major organs, your LO becomes a fetus, and the placenta takes control. The risk of miscarriage is significantly diminished past this point. The second trimester is based on gestation time and begins at 13 weeks and 3 days. Doctors refer to your gestational trimester. Due Date - 12 week Development - 2nd TrimesterAugust 1 - January 16 - January 26August 2 - January 17 - January 27August 3 - January 18 - January 28August 4 - January 19 - January 29August 5 - January 20 - January 30August 6 - January 21 - January 31August 7 - January 22 - February 1August 8 - January 23 - February 2

1. It's almost time for belly buddies! I just need to do a little fine tuning and I'll send out the list. As we are all due within 7 days of each other, I will be pairing everyone up more based on likeness such as number of previous children, regional location, and amount of time online. Most people will have a belly buddy due on the same day while others may have one due one day apart. Please submit these two answers and as soon as I get them all, I'll send out the list. Are you a military spouse? I noticed we have a lot of military wives and I know you ladies will have a lot in common. How many days a week are you online?Morning / Afternoon? I have added this question as many people assigned on previous BB list have complained their BB was never online. So I would like to match those with the same level of activity. If this is your first time to the Bahama Mama's thread, welcome! If you would like to get on the belly buddy list, please visit the link below and submit your answers here. I'll get you added.

3. What is your favorite / embarrassing pregnancy moment from last week?

4. What is your favorite children's book?

5. Have you joined the at home fetal doppler club?

6. Time to fess up, what baby item have you bought and hidden from DH?

7. What favorite food have you had to give up and what is your new favorite food?

PS - I've been jotting my answer to these in my pregnancy journal each week. My answers from a few weeks ago are already sounding foreign to me.

We have 56 mama's that are due the first week of August :).

Wrong for me.. Gail's reading: A son will be conceived early January 2011. Sometime in 2012, a girl will be conceived.

I have not previously posted to the Bahama Mama thread and would love to be added. Here's my info: Are you a military spouse? No How many days a week are you online? Morning / Afternoon? Daily... multiple times throughout day

2. How are you feeling this week? Still doing pretty well. Tummy is starting to feel fuller. Sleeping is getting more uncomfortable. Boob soreness has returned. Still no MS.

3. What is your favorite / embarrassing pregnancy moment from last week? Everytime I start laughing too hard, it turns to crying. So far this week I have cried over a satin pillow case, a purse hook, KFC, spilled milk (ironic, I know), and a football game! I feel like I'm losing my mind sometimes!

4. What is your favorite children's book? Haven't read any in so long, I'm not sure. Guess I need to start researching some of this stuff again!

5. Have you joined the at home fetal doppler club? I ordered mine on Thursday and it should be here sometime this week! Yay!

6. Time to fess up, what baby item have you bought and hidden from DH? Haven't bought and hidden anything... yet!

7. What favorite food have you had to give up and what is your new favorite food? Do margaritas count as a favorite food I've given up? I have been craving cereal a lot now.

1. Military? Amount of time online? I am a military wife - stationed in Texas. I am off and on online all day. I'm addicted to the WTE boards.

2. How are you feeling this week? The m/s is finally subsiding. Instead of being sick everyday it is more like every other day.

3. What is your favorite / embarrassing pregnancy moment from last week? None for me really...I think my husband has had more than I have. For some reason he thought only girls have an umbilical cord that goes to their belly button and that for boys, it went to their pee pee....oh wow...HILARIOUS!

5. Have you joined the at home fetal doppler club? Yes â€“ I will get it either tomorrow or Tuesday and I cannot wait!

6. Time to fess up, what baby item have you bought and hidden from DH? Nothing â€“ we buy everything together or I get so excited that I send him a picture of it before I buy it. We are really waiting for the 2nd trimester before we buy a lot.

7. What favorite food have you had to give up and what is your new favorite food? Milk, regular and chocolate â€“ for some reason at the beginning I loved it and couldnâ€™t get enough. Now dairy items make me puke. My new favorite is still to be determined. I donâ€™t seem to really want much lately or to know what I want.

I'm not on the list!Name: JanalynAge: 24Location: TexasThis is my first child, and I'm a police wife. I usually get on here once a day in the evening, but I'm on my phone so I don't post very often, just comment on others'. Once we're past the 12 week mark, I plan to get more involved, but for now I'm still afraid of jinxing it. :)

1.Are you a military spouse? Nope. How many days a week are you online?Morning / Afternoon? Pretty much every day, most frequently in the morning and before bed. 2. How are you feeling this week? Ok. I had light spotting off and on which made me sort of anxious but none of the other symptoms that WTE suggests mean I needed to head to the doctor and my ms doesn't seem to be letting up yet.

3. What is your favorite / embarrassing pregnancy moment from last week? I got to spend about 2 hours last night holding a friend's newborn. It made me all the more excited about my lo getting here.

4. What is your favorite children's book? Slyvester and the Magic Pebble, followed closely by I'll Love You Forever.

5. Have you joined the at home fetal doppler club? No, but I've found myself tempted some in the last week. It's been kinda hard to wait 4 weeks between visits to here that everything is still ok.

6. Time to fess up, what baby item have you bought and hidden from DH? Nothing thus far. I"ve started registering for stuff but still feel anxious about figuring out what all we might need.

7. What favorite food have you had to give up and what is your new favorite food? I"m missing sushi and having a beer at night. All my new favorites are old favorites, mac & cheese, fresh fruit, popsicles, etc.
